Clarington fireworks bylaw

Any time fireworks are set off in Clarington, from a big Canada Day display to a backyard show for the kids, it has to be done with a fireworks permit from the municipality and a fire safety talk with the fire department.

"If they're setting them off without a permit, it's in contravention of the bylaw," said municipal clerk Patti Barrie.

Fireworks have to be set off by someone who is at least 21 years old.

The pyrotechnics can only be set off in the five days before and after Victoria Day and Canada Day.

The land has to be owned or leased by the person setting off the fireworks.
